In mountainous areas, reception of radio and television is sometimes poor. Consider an idealized case where a hill is represented by the graph of the parabola \( y=x-x^{2}\), a transmitter is located at the point \((-5,3)\), and a receiver is located on the other side of the hill at the point \(\left(x_{0},0\right)\). What is the closest the receiver can be to the hill while still maintaining unobstructed reception? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
